Quadzilla - Yeah, right. Like THIS GUY needs an introduction!

Gypsy - With her extensive skating background, Gypsy is able to break down skating techniques and explain drills or new skills so that everyone can understand. Teaching new skills to skaters takes a great amount of patience and Gypsy is able to make that connection with focus and control. Gypsy started skating at 7 months of age and secured her first National medal in speed skating at 10 years old. She went on to Medal at Nationals every year after until she retired at age 23. Gypsy was a Team USA Inline Speed Skating Coach for 2003, 2004, and 2005 coaching skaters to several World Championship titles. Gypsy is currently a representative for Nistevo USA. Brands include Atom Wheels, Luigino and Jackson Boots, Bionic Bearings, and Atom Gear.
